Creating an Elder Abuse Forensic Center: Tools for Your Community

Since the Orange County Elder Abuse Forensic Center was launched, we have been approached by other communities interested in starting their own centers and have assisted in the creation of three new centers. The Forensic Center has served over 800 older adults and adults with disabilities.

Based on these experiences, the Center of Excellence on Elder Abuse & Neglect has created a manual and 20-minute companion DVD.
